Strong moves, but I have a fw issues with them.

1. Our starting 5 should be a top defensive unit, no excises. If not, then there is a problem.
2. Chemistry is a big question mark for me because I don't think that Embiid and Horford can co-exist together. They are both big and slow and I think that makes it difficult on defense, especially if Simmons continues to refuse to develop a jumper as his greatest strength - going to the rim - will be blocked by having 2 giants clogging the paint!
3. I would have waited to extend Simmons' contract until October or so. I would have waited to see if he took the off-season to actually learn to shoot the ball or if he was just pretending to do so like he did last summer.
4. If all goes well for them, I think anything less than the ECF is a let down and they should start looking to let Brett Brown go. He is out of excuses and now that the East is the weakest it's ever been I think it's time for the Sixers to step up before KD gets healthy in Brooklyn.
